Commercial & Residential Mechanical Contractors
From a single residential home to a large factory or office building, we manage the mechanical systems that keep a building doing its job.
What is a mechanical contractor?
During a construction project many different specialties are required, and at some stage in the process, there will be a need for a mechanical contracting company. This company hires out mechanical contractors and engineers that design, build, and maintain a variety of processes and devices within a construction project. It could be on a small scale in a residential home or a large-scale project such as a factory or an office building.
What's involved in the role?
Generally, a mechanical contractor is in charge of heating or cooling systems, refrigeration, piping, and plumbing. They have an extensive range of expertise that, when put together, comprises a huge part of creating and maintaining a building so that it fulfills its purpose. Anything with mechanical parts will require the attention of a mechanical contractor — whether for production, installation, or ongoing maintenance and repair.
Temperature control is a large part of the job, especially because heating systems and air conditioners are required in a new build to keep the temperature comfortable. Mechanical contractors look at the building and determine the best method for heating and cooling, taking into consideration practical installation, costs, and energy efficiency to decide what's best suited for a particular project. We're also usually responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the systems we install.
A supervisor's role
A contractor generally takes on a supervisor's role in a construction project. It's our job to oversee the mechanical workers and ensure that everything goes smoothly — making sure the mechanical elements of the building are installed on time and within the required budget. This also includes the scheduling of subcontractors as well as the allocating and delegating of workloads.
